ACES Act

Vote on HR 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES Act) will be this Friday.

For the past 2 weeks, I've used FutureTweets to send Twitter messages daily to members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee who are also on Twitter. If you find yourself desiring to blitz them over the next 48 hours, then here are their IDs:

@USRepMikeDoyle
@RepRadanovich
@FrankPallone
@RepInsleeNews
@repjonbarrow
@RepJoeBarton
@RepShimkus
@RoyBlunt
@MaryBonoMack
@LeeTerryNE
@USRepSullivan
@MichaelCBurgess
@RepPhilGingrey

And I tweeted these two today, and will continue over the next 48 hours:

@neilabercrombie
@ArturDavis

Other than the obvious, the votes on Friday, does anyone else have ideas about how to measure the success of a Twitter-driven advocacy campaign? Do I measure in RTs? In the traditional letterwriting, phoning or email/fax campaign, measurement is finite--#s of letters written, phone calls made, emails or faxes sent. But, it all falls on the final vote, n'est ce pas? Numbers in the thousands can be generated, but if the vote goes against the will of the people, then what?

Inquiring minds want to know. Your thoughts?
